Cloud interactive data-driven applications generate swarms of small TCP flows that compete for the small buffer space in data-center switches. Such applications require a short flow completion time (FCT) to perform their jobs effectively.…

TCP is designed for networks with assumption that major losses occur only due to congestion of network traffic. On a wireless network TCP misinterprets the transmission losses due to bit errors and handoffs as losses caused by congestion,…

In the last decade, the demand for Internet applications has been increased, which increases the number of data centers across the world. These data centers are usually connected to each other using long-distance and high-speed networks. As…

Nowadays, the bulk of Internet traffic uses TCP protocol for reliable transmission. But the standard TCP's performance is very poor in High Speed Networks (HSN) and hence the core gigabytes links are usually underutilization. This problem…

Over the past years, TCP has gone through numerous updates to provide performance enhancement under diverse network conditions. However, with respect to losses, little can be achieved with legacy TCP detection and recovery mechanisms. Both…

The Transport Control Protocol has long been the primary transport protocol for applications requiring performance and reliability over the Internet. Unfortunately, due its retransmission mechanism, TCP incurs high packet delivery delays…

Currently, TCP is the most popular and widely used network transmission protocol. In actual fact, about 90% of connections on the internet use TCP to communicate. Through several upgrades and improvements, TCP became well optimized for the…

Initially TCP was designed with the notion in mind that wired networks are generally reliable and any segment loss in a transmission is due to congestion in the network rather than an unreliable medium (The assumptions is that the packet…

Measurement shows that 85% of TCP flows in the internet are short-lived flows that stay most of their operation in the TCP startup phase. However, many previous studies indicate that the traditional TCP Slow Start algorithm does not perform…

The behavior of loss-based TCP congestion control algorithms like TCP CUBIC continues to be a challenge in modern cellular networks. Due to the large RLC layer buffers required to deal with short-term changes in channel capacity, the…

A low and stable buffer occupancy is critical to achieve high throughput, low packet drop rate, low latency, and low jitter for data center networks. It also allows switch chips to support higher port density, larger lookup tables, or…

In a mobile ad hoc network, temporary link failures and route changes occur frequently. With the assumption that all packet losses are due to congestion, TCP performs poorly in such an environment. There are many versions of TCP which…

Increasingly stringent throughput and latency requirements in datacenter networks demand fast and accurate congestion control. We observe that the reaction time and accuracy of existing datacenter congestion control schemes are inherently…

TCP's poor performance is identified as the bottleneck of high-speed networks. Extensions to TCP have been proposed and implemented. Some authors abandon TCP at all and suggest new transport protocols to overcome TCP limitations, at the…
